Patz and Hall Sonoma Chardonnay 22
22nd on Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025
The 2022 offering is a collection of twenty three single-vineyard quality sites that could all be bottled as single source bottlings; six blocks of Dutton Ranch, various blocks of Sanchietti Vineyard, Gap’s Crown Vineyard, Zio Tony Ranch, Parmelee-Hill Vineyard, Alder Springs and Durell Vineyard. Fresh fruit abounds in this bottling, with aromas of granny smith apple, orange spritz and bosque pear caressing the senses. Succulent acidity along with a wet rock minerality bestows elegance on the palate and makes this a wine to refresh the spirit on a warm summer day.

Ripe, succulent peach, apricot and mango flavors are generous and juicy, with notes of toasted coconut, crème anglaise, tangerine and orange blossoms, plus a drizzle of wildflower honey. The intensity persists on the finish, with hints of shortbread and grilled pineapple that linger.
